Sleepy babies!!

Wow, such a long time since my last update, but I have had a few major life-changing events here, and things just "stopped cold" in December. Just last month, I brought in some little gliders who needed a home, ASAP, and I've been getting them settled in to their new home. I was quite surprised when I had heard there were only four, but when I opened their sleepy-sack, there were actually seven! Five adults: two intact males, who will need to be neutered as soon as I can manage it, three females, and two little joeys that I estimate to be about three weeks OOP (out-of-pouch).

Here is a short video of my two twin boys (that I had mistakenly believed were little girls)! Oh dear... I do need to review my glider physiology! Thanks to Cyndiekb of Suggie Rescue Resources who "corrected me" and to Bourbon of All4Gliders who helped me estimate their age... those two gals and their support and encouragement in taking in seven little rescues has been totally invaluable.

So, here we are... let's meet our "boys": Thing 1 and Thing 2!



Thing 1 is an active and assertive little fellow, and he "loved to holler and complain" when we first began to handle him. As you can see in the above video, both are very easily handled... although, Thing 1 loves to explore. He is certainly the more active of the two.

Thing 2, from the get-go, was always the "strong but silent type" and he loves cuddling. I'm not sure if it is obvious here, but he actually fell asleep in my hand, while his brother was zooming along, all over me.

The surprise of the day was this: when I went to place the boys back in with their colony, "Mommy" met them at the door to check them out, and I could almost swear that I saw "two peanuts" - if this is true... she is pregnant again. Uh oh!
